By "wallet friendly" I meant it'll cost less. Screen size is estimated at 7.85 in. That doesn't seem pocketable at all but still tablet sized.

Why are they making the same product all over again?
It's just the same thing again, just slightly smaller. Why don't they actually attempt to make something new for once, instead of just the same shit, different case?

times are changing... samsung is rising with alongside android tablets ie. transformer prime and others
surely an important idea and the price has to be dropped esp for the tablet. if it were an iphone, then they don't need to worry alot about the price bcz its still up there.
and finally, this has been going around a lot like they showed the potential internal (leaked) cabling. so i think this is a strong rumor.

There are also reports of an internally redesigned iPad 3 to fix heating and charging issues, with a slightly lowered price due to changes in material. I'd like that, but I have no money and at this point I'd rather wait til March for the iPad 4 and jump on Apple's student financing program.

The iPad is just a glorified Touch with 3G and LTE capability, there is nothing about it that makes it better then a Touch or an iPhone, so a Mini iPad just seems like a colossal waste of money if it doesn't have all the same features as the full sized iPad in a smaller form factor.

Think so? If they price it at $250, it'll clean up. The Nexus 7 is a nice tablet in a bang-for-your-buck sense, but iSheep are willing to pay more and get less.
I don't think something like this could come from Apple. Apple's not really the type of company to make budget products.
Maybe a 7-inch one is likely(I still doubt it though) but I doubt it would be considered "budget", probably priced competitively. Kinda like the current iPad. It's priced like most other tablets of it's size.

Isn't an iPad mini just an iPod touch? (Possibly with data capabilities?)
Why would they compete with a product that they're trying to ban anyways? Why waste even more money?

According to many online, the iPad mini is most likely going to retail at $299 (no cellular) and $349 (with cellular).
Many also speculate that iPad mini would be as low as $249 to compete with other 7 inchers.
Also,
Rumor has it that iPhone 5 will not pack an A5X chip and instead jumping to an A6 Quad Core processor.

Photos of the iPhone 5 logic board are inside, the words "A6" are quite faint.
It COULD be photoshop genius, so I'm counting this as a rumor.

Yeah, we already established that, but don't bother actually reading the topic...derp
An "iPad Mini" isn't just an iPod Touch. It has a larger screen at least and the rest of the details are just speculation.
And there's tons of budget tablets out there, Apple can't ban them all and the only way to win that market is to enter it.
